A breathtaking wedding at The Heritage Club at Bethpage (formerly Carlyle on the Green) for Kristen and Chris. It’s always wonderful for us to do multiple family weddings and being a part of these families’ lives has been amazing. Kristen and her girls got ready in the house she grew up in, in Smithtown, N.Y. and there was a peaceful calm in the air during prep. Chris and his groomsmen dressed at the Hilton Garden Inn in Plainview. Kristen’s Pnina Tornai wedding gown and Louboutin shoes were absolutely gorgeous and she looked stunning in them. Kristen’s jewelry all had special meaning to her, she wore the family veil, a bracelet that her sister had given her, a pin with her grandmothers name was pinned onto her bouquet and beautiful diamond stud earrings that Chris had gifted to her as his wedding gift to her. Chris’ gift from Kristen also had special meaning; she gifted him a brick from their alma mater Clemson, which she would have engraved at a later date for him. The ceremony took place in the beautiful St. Patrick’s RC Church in Smithtown. After the ribbon wand exit we took the couple to Blydenburgh County Park for some photos of the new Mr. and Mrs. And then over to Sunken Meadow Stare Park for bridal party photos before heading over to the venue for family portraits.
The reception room’s décor was beautiful with the elegant floral arrangements. Guest had a blast having their photos taken in the Ruby Booth photo booth. After the speeches, Kristen surprised Chris with the guest appearance of the Clemsen school mascot, who got the crowd riled up singing the school song and even joined the band on stage. Kristen and her dad also surprised their family and friends during the father daughter dance when the slow dance music changed to John Fogerty’s song Centerfield. This was a great night of fun and laughter for this amazing fun loving couple.
